Uniworld president Ellen Bettridge praised UK and Ireland managing director Chris Townson, who is now based in Australia, for the work he and his team have done to grow its UK business.
She tipped UK to surpass the current top international source market – Australia – in the coming months.
“The US is 70% of our business,” said Bettridge. “Chris and the team are now very close to Australia – they’ve done a phenomenal job.
“The UK has got a very good chance of being the second market. Brits love Italy, all of France, and India.”
In June, Uniworld will host 50 UK agents on a seven-night Ganges cruise to enable the trade to experience one of its best-performing products.
The 56-passenger Ganges Voyager 2 will operate the sailing which will be filled with agents who have either achieved certain sales volumes or have close ties with the ultra-luxury line.
